Creamy fresh Melon Gelato Recipe
Melon gelato is a refreshing Italian dessert, perfect for summer when you want something light, creamy, and full of flavor. Made with fresh ripe melon, whole milk, heavy cream, and sugar, this gelato is naturally sweet and incredibly aromatic.
Ingredients
- 350 g fresh melon pulp - about 12 oz
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 120 g granulated sugar - about ½ cup
- 250 ml whole fresh milk - 1 cup
- 250 ml fresh heavy cream - 1 cup
Instructions
- Cut the melon into slices and remove the skin and seeds. Next, cut it into small pieces.
- Put the melon pieces in a blender and puree them. Add a tablespoon of lemon juice and blend again.
- Pour the melon puree into a bowl and add the sugar. Mix everything well. Add the cold heavy cream and the cold whole milk. Stir with a spoon until the sugar completely dissolves.
- Pour the mixture into the bowl of the ice cream maker, close it, and turn it on. In about 40 minutes (depending on your model), your melon Gelato will be ready!
